BRGR, an Outstanding Burger Joint...

Well, time for a new restaurant review. We have been going to BRGR for sometime now after work for great beer and even better burgers. There is a great local chain in Pittsburgh called BRGR that is outstanding.

They have an outstanding draft beer list. My favorite is the 21st Amendment Brew Free or Die. I like hoppy beers and quite seriously, this is better than Dogfish 60 Minute by a whisker...

They have an extensive list of gourmet and specialty burgers, as well as the option to build your own. I have tried many of the burgers on their list. My favorites, in order:

2. The Button Buster: Burger, braised beef short ribs, white cheddar, aioli, and onion rings. Second on my list by a french fry.

3. The Cease and Desist: Think gourmet Big Mac. The caramelized onions make it for sure.

The wait and bar staff at the Cranberry location are knowledgeable and friendly. The prices are reasonable enough that you can take the family for dinner. As an added bonus, the music selection rocks...

Finally, if you have room, I suggest one of their spiked shakes, which can be ordered alcohol free as well. May I suggest the Salty Caramel? The only think that would make that shake better is bacon crumbles...

About Us

Bill and Hope became BBQ enthusiasts in 2010 after buying their first quality smoker. After entering their first competition in 2011, enthusiasm became full fledged addiction. We are steadily improving and have won a few trophies along the way. Feel free to stop by at a competition and say hi. We don't bite, promise...
